Trump adviser had five calls with Russian envoy on day of sanctions: sources
He said he called the Russian Ambassador to wish him a Merry Christmas.
FIVE TIMES?
Dude. You must think we're all stupid. From your article.
"One source said there was nothing intrinsically odd or wrong about a Russian diplomat speaking to a member of Trump's team following the U.S. announcement. Moscow, the source added, probably would want to have some sense of what Trump's team thought about the measures.
That sentiment was echoed Friday by State Department spokesman Mark Toner. "This building doesn’t see anything necessarily inappropriate about contact between members of the incoming administration and foreign officials," Toner said."
